The combat is absolutely my favourite part though, being able to take direct control of ships and get into the action while it's hot is awesome. After trying it some more since the latest version, I was blown away by how engrossing it is now. There's so much about the game to love, starting off with nothing as you build up your fleet and empire while exploring the galaxy. It's worth it though, because it's absolutely fantastic. It's not really a game to play on a coffee break, there's quite a bit of depth to it and quite a bit to learn. That alone, is a big deal for me and it's so much nicer. Multi-monitor support has vastly improved, with it not messing with my secondary monitor and going fullscreen correctly on my primary monitor. Thankfully, the issues that plagued the Linux version (for me) in the past are gone. The spaceship design really is quite incredible. I've tested it at various points over the years, always coming away impressed by the visual design just as much as the gameplay. Starsector (formerly "Starfarer") is a game that I've followed for quite a few years now, one I personally purchased many years ago and the latest release is a big one.
